Baba Ijesha, wife show off love at son’s naming

Olanrewaju Omiyinka, widely recognized as Baba Ijesha, and his fashion designer wife, Abiodun Folashade, known as CEO Luminee, made headlines with their public display of affection during their son's naming and thanksgiving ceremony in Lagos. The event, held on Thursday, drew the attention of numerous Nollywood stars, entertainers, and socialites.

Videos shared prior to the ceremony showed the couple sharing affectionate moments, with Luminee appearing especially close to her husband. The celebration commenced with the actor dressed in traditional attire, delivering a musical performance that prompted interpretations by some viewers as a message to his critics. Another notable moment from the ceremony was the cake-cutting session, in which the actor dipped his hand into the cake and fed his wife, a gesture that sparked reactions on social media.

The ceremony also brought together a substantial gathering of entertainers and personalities, including Mercy Aigbe, Omowunmi Ajiboye, Regina Chukwu, and Moyo Lawal, among others. The presence of individuals associated with actress Iyabo Ojo also drew attention, though their roles in the event did not explicitly indicate their stances on the actor's past controversy.

Baba Ijesha had been released from prison in November 2025 following a 2022 conviction for sexual assault involving a minor. The couple had previously announced plans for the celebration, describing it as a royal occasion, with guests invited to participate.
